Nao，the first robot able to show feelings，has been created by a European research team.When Nao is sad，he lowers his head and looks down.When he’s happy，he raises his arms for a hug.Nothing is out of the ordinary，except that Nao is a robot.
“We’re modeling the first years of life，” says Lola Canamero，a computer scientist at the University of Hertforshire.“The feelings are shown through physical gestures and body movements rather than facial or verbal(言语的) expressions.”
In the future，says the scientist，robots are likely to act as companions，provide support for old people，and help people shop online.In such uses，the display of feeling will be important in making the interactions(交往) more natural and comfortable.
Nao has been programmed to copy the emotional skills of a one-year-old child.It can memorize faces，and knows the basic rules of good and bad.Based on these it can decide how to react to what is going on.The actions going with each feeling are pre-programmed，but Nao decides for itself when to display them.
Nao is also programmed to have different personalities.A more independent robot is less likely to call for help when exploring a room，while a more fearful robot will show distress if it finds something in the room that may be harmful.
Canamero’s team will take its emotional programming forward into medical applications.Part of the project will look at ways to use robots in hospitals to support the roles of doctors，nurses and parents.Children might find that a small，friendly-looking robot that can understand their emotional states makes them less anxious.“We want to explore different roles—the robots will help the children to understand their treatment and explain what they have to do.We want to help the children to control their anxiety，” she says.
8．What can we learn from the text
A．Scientists worked on facial and spoken expressions to create Nao’s emotions.
B．The time when Nao displays feelings has been pre-programmed.
C．Emotional programming is used in medicine production.
D．Robots with emotional skills can help children feel more comfortable.
9．According to the text，Nao .
A．displays different feelings in different situations
B．is able to imitate adult emotional displays
C．can remember people’s feelings
D．learns emotions from facial expressions
10．What does the underlined word “distress” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A．Courage. B．Anxiety.
C．Anger. D．Satisfaction.
11．What is the text mainly about
A．The relationship between humans and robots.
B．The roles that robots play in different fields.
C．The first robot able to show feelings.
D．The long history of robots.

Online games are very popular among people.They make a large amount of money and have a large user base，including lots of teenagers.But now，new rules on online games have been introduced，which are aimed at fighting against addiction among underage players.
Adult players need to spend most of their time paying attention to work and family，and cannot play games as often as they want.However，underage players have more spare time，but less responsibility and self-control.Children without a clear purpose in life，where there is less family education and school management，might easily become addicted to all kinds of online games and online novels.
The most direct impact of an addiction to online games among underage players is on their psychological(心理的) health.According to psychologists，people seriously addicted to games can become anxious，bad-tempered，and avoid responsibility.
However，Chinese parents are more worried that their children will lack interest in studying if they become addicted to online games，as academic success is important for students.Additionally，when their children become addicted to such games，most parents do not know how to deal with the situation.
To carry out the new rules to the best effect，more specific issues need to be solved，such as managing foreign online games，ensuring that facial recognition technologies used by games companies have the wanted effect or making sure online game providers can only offer one-hour services to underage players on Saturdays and Sundays.While there are always loopholes(漏洞) in new rules，authorities should act quickly to close them.
There is no doubt that online games have harmful effects on young people.It is not acceptable for a large number of teenagers or those even younger，to become addicted to these games.
12．What’s the purpose of the new rules on online games
A．To raise awareness of Internet safety.
B．To bring in new computer programs.
C．To reduce the grown-up user base.
D．To prevent the teenagers’ addiction.
13．Why are underage players addicted to online games more easily
A．They can learn more knowledge on the Internet.
B．They have more free time and less self-control.
C．They have purposes in life but lack higher education.
D．They maintain a sense of curiosity about the Internet.
14．What problem has to be solved to ensure the effect of the new rules
A．How to reduce parents’ anxiety about kids’ study.
B．How to find loopholes in the popular online games.
C．How to control the service time of online game providers.
D．How to invent a facial recognition game for young players.
15．What is the author’s attitude to the new rules
A．Confused. B．Negative.
C．Supportive. D．Uninterested.
Ⅱ.七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
I was giving my 5-year-old daughter a bath one night when she looked out of the window at our fence and announced，“You know，Mamma，sometimes looking at trees helps you to think.” 1 What a deep observation from a little child.“You are right，” I encouraged.“What are you thinking about？”
Lately，there have been a lot of changes going on—in my life at work.Business has been hard and I have been doing a lot of consulting for customers who haven’t been able to afford help. 2 I have a need and desire to help，but I often say “Yes” when my wallet should be saying “No！”
The last few years have been such a struggle for so many of my customers from so many walks of life. 3 Worse yet，I always have a voice in the back of my head that says if I don’t relax or learn a better way to deal with stress，cancer might come near!
So when my daughter said that sentence，I promised to spend more time in nature. 4 It is so grounding and so healing.I have traded a few gym days for hikes in the hills above my house. 5 I am always more clear-headed after that.So I plan on spending some time this summer in southern California，enjoying thinking at the base of an old，wise tree—with my daughter of course.
A．I struggle with this.
B．What she said is so true.
C．My health is on the downside.
D．I decided to stop the busy life.
E．I just sat in surprise and silence.
F．I have trouble sleeping，sometimes.
G．Have you ever sat in a park and stared at a tree

Nao，the first robot able to show feelings，has been created by a European research team.When Nao is sad，he lowers his head and looks down.When he’s happy，he raises his arms for a hug.Nothing is out of the ordinary，except that Nao is a robot.
“We’re modeling the first years of life，” says Lola Canamero，a computer scientist at the University of Hertforshire.“The feelings are shown through physical gestures and body movements rather than facial or verbal(言语的) expressions.”
In the future，says the scientist，robots are likely to act as companions，provide support for old people，and help people shop online.In such uses，the display of feeling will be important in making the interactions(交往) more natural and comfortable.
Nao has been programmed to copy the emotional skills of a one-year-old child.It can memorize faces，and knows the basic rules of good and bad.Based on these it can decide how to react to what is going on.The actions going with each feeling are pre-programmed，but Nao decides for itself when to display them.
Nao is also programmed to have different personalities.A more independent robot is less likely to call for help when exploring a room，while a more fearful robot will show distress if it finds something in the room that may be harmful.
Canamero’s team will take its emotional programming forward into medical applications.Part of the project will look at ways to use robots in hospitals to support the roles of doctors，nurses and parents.Children might find that a small，friendly-looking robot that can understand their emotional states makes them less anxious.“We want to explore different roles—the robots will help the children to understand their treatment and explain what they have to do.We want to help the children to control their anxiety，” she says.
8．What can we learn from the text

C．Emotional programming is used in medicine production.
D．Robots with emotional skills can help children feel more comfortable.

Online games are very popular among people.They make a large amount of money and have a large user base，including lots of teenagers.But now，new rules on online games have been introduced，which are aimed at fighting against addiction among underage players.
Adult players need to spend most of their time paying attention to work and family，and cannot play games as often as they want.However，underage players have more spare time，but less responsibility and self-control.Children without a clear purpose in life，where there is less family education and school management，might easily become addicted to all kinds of online games and online novels.
The most direct impact of an addiction to online games among underage players is on their psychological(心理的) health.According to psychologists，people seriously addicted to games can become anxious，bad-tempered，and avoid responsibility.
However，Chinese parents are more worried that their children will lack interest in studying if they become addicted to online games，as academic success is important for students.Additionally，when their children become addicted to such games，most parents do not know how to deal with the situation.
To carry out the new rules to the best effect，more specific issues need to be solved，such as managing foreign online games，ensuring that facial recognition technologies used by games companies have the wanted effect or making sure online game providers can only offer one-hour services to underage players on Saturdays and Sundays.While there are always loopholes(漏洞) in new rules，authorities should act quickly to close them.
There is no doubt that online games have harmful effects on young people.It is not acceptable for a large number of teenagers or those even younger，to become addicted to these games.
12．What’s the purpose of the new rules on online games
A．To raise awareness of Internet safety.
B．To bring in new computer programs.
C．To reduce the grown-up user base.
D．To prevent the teenagers’ addiction.
13．Why are underage players addicted to online games more easily
A．They can learn more knowledge on the Internet.
B．They have more free time and less self-control.
C．They have purposes in life but lack higher education.
D．They maintain a sense of curiosity about the Internet.
14．What problem has to be solved to ensure the effect of the new rules
A．How to reduce parents’ anxiety about kids’ study.
B．How to find loopholes in the popular online games.
C．How to control the service time of online game providers.
D．How to invent a facial recognition game for young players.
15．What is the author’s attitude to the new rules
A．Confused. B．Negative.
C．Supportive. D．Uninterested.

I was giving my 5-year-old daughter a bath one night when she looked out of the window at our fence and announced，“You know，Mamma，sometimes looking at trees helps you to think.” 1 What a deep observation from a little child.“You are right，” I encouraged.“What are you thinking about？”
Lately，there have been a lot of changes going on—in my life at work.Business has been hard and I have been doing a lot of consulting for customers who haven’t been able to afford help. 2 I have a need and desire to help，but I often say “Yes” when my wallet should be saying “No！”
The last few years have been such a struggle for so many of my customers from so many walks of life. 3 Worse yet，I always have a voice in the back of my head that says if I don’t relax or learn a better way to deal with stress，cancer might come near!
So when my daughter said that sentence，I promised to spend more time in nature. 4 It is so grounding and so healing.I have traded a few gym days for hikes in the hills above my house. 5 I am always more clear-headed after that.So I plan on spending some time this summer in southern California，enjoying thinking at the base of an old，wise tree—with my daughter of course.
A．I struggle with this.
B．What she said is so true.
C．My health is on the downside.
D．I decided to stop the busy life.
E．I just sat in surprise and silence.
F．I have trouble sleeping，sometimes.
